No! You have plenty to be afraid of even if you haven't committed a crime

@alastair Despite the fact that black people experience police harassment and brutality much more than white people, white people also obviously experience it too, just to a lesser extent. I don't think it's wise to sum up the problem of the police to a completely one-sided racial issue (although obviously, again, black people suffer much more than white people) because the police is the problem of the entire working class.

@Marshie Police officers shouldn't have unions because A: The police are the enemies of working class unions (it's not the Capitalists that go out on the street and beat/arrest striking workers, it's the police, the tool Capitalist use to keep their power); making their jobs easier shouldn't be the working class's priority, and B: The police shouldn't exist. Their primary purpose is to protect capitalist wealth and property, not to help us. The goal shouldn't be to make the police more agreeable, but to abolish the police and replace it with non-hierarchical community protection/security groups.

@oceaniceternity The 1973 Chilean coup d'état was a military overthrow of the Popular Unity government in Chile led by the democratic socialist Salvador Allende as president of Chile. Allende, who has been described as the first Marxist to be democratically elected president in a Latin American liberal democracy, faced significant social unrest, political tension with the opposition-controlled National Congress of Chile, and economic warfare ordered by United States president Richard Nixon. On September 11, 1973, a group of military officers, led by General Augusto Pinochet, seized power in a coup, ending civilian rule. In 2000, the CIA admitted its role in the 1970 kidnapping of a top general who had refused to use the army to stop Allende's inauguration. 2023 declassified documents showed that Nixon, Henry Kissinger, and the United States government, which had branded Allende as a dangerous communist, were aware of the coup and its plans to overthrow Allende's democratically-elected government.Read the rest here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973_Chilean_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat

"A great metaphor for the American healthcare crisis is what happened to the California mental health system in the 1970s. Before Reagan, mental hospitals: Napa, Stockton, Fairview, and Agnew were all socialized. People could commit themselves for dependance issues or psychological illness. In these institutions, unless you were severely ill, which few were, you could be trained for a job. Mental institutions were sustainable communities. They had farms and textile mills. Patients raised cattle, grew and cooked their own food, but also made their own clothes and clothing for the California penal system. Reagan comes in and defunds mental healthcare by two million dollars per year. He privatized the model. Suddenly, it's all contracted out. Jobs are lost, farms are shut down, and if you didn't have insurance, you couldn't receive mental healthcare. Nearly three quarters of mental patients got booted out. If you're too sick to work, good luck. Homelessness exploded. Reagan used that model as president and expanded it to regular hospitals. Every aspect of care became privatized nationwide. The American healthcare crisis starts with the defunding of mental health institutions. Now, granted, we've come a long way in the treatment and welfare of mental patients since the '80s, but we need funding. Socialized medicine works."ALAN GULLIS, recreational therapist, former psychiatric technician, Napa state hospital, 2017
